Copyright is sacred! Fuck openai!

At the root of this cognitive dissonance is who benefits and who doesn't. Copyright law is selectively applied in a way that protects the powerful and exploits the powerless. In a capitalist economy copyright is meant to protect people's livelihoods by ensuring they are compensated for their labor, but due to the power imbalance inherent to capitalism it is instead used only to protect the interests of capital. The fact that AI companies are granted full impunity to violate the copyright of millions is evidence that copyright law is ineffective at the task for which it was purportedly created.

why is Nintendo going after pokemon with guns and not that one game that popped up on the steam home page (I disabled NSFW tags) that's literally just 2d Pokemon but if you beat the trainer you fuck them.

I will continue to never give Nintendo any of my money on account of their litigiousness.

Congrats Nintendo, I'm done with you. SNES, Gameboy, N64, GameCube, Wii, Switch, and now done for good. Cantankerous old dinosaur of a company that has lost touch with the world.

Yeah. I love their games and liked their hardware, but I just can't morally justify sending money into Nintendo anymore.

Stop buying Nintendo. They can't create quality new IP's, just rehashes over and over, at this point she ain't got a peach, bowser mashed it into a pie, and Mario's eating it for breakfast, lunch, an after dinner snack.

The problem is they're such a large and recognizable company that they could probably switch to making and selling malware and everyone would still buy it without thinking twice. Humanity is full of idiots.
